Tabbed by: Chadster111 This song is fairly simple once you get down the chords. The chords are: C5 : x32010 G5 : 320003 A5 : xx2210 F5 : x33211 Once you have these chords down it is a simple, 'down-down-down-down' strum pattern. You will play the chords simultaneously with the quarter notes. Please be aware that you will strike 'C' twice, 'G' twice, 'Am' twice, but only 'F' once. Once you hit 'F' once, you start over the pattern like so: C5 C5 G5 G5 A5 A5 F5 C5 C5 G5 G5 e | ----0-----0-----3-----3------0------0-----1-- | --0-----0-----3-----3---etc. | B | ----1-----1-----0-----0------1------1-----1-- | --1-----1-----0-----0------- | G | ----0-----0-----0-----0------2------2-----2-- | --0-----0-----0-----0------- | D | ----2-----2-----0-----0------2------2-----3-- | --2-----2-----0-----0------- | A | ----3-----3-----2-----2------x------x-----3-- | --3-----3-----2-----2------- | E | ----x-----x-----3-----3------x------x-----x-- | --x-----x-----3-----3------- | This pattern ensues throughout the entire song. Now to the entire tabulature: C5 G5 There was an old farmer who lived on a rock, A5 F5 he sat in the meadow, just shaking his C5 G5 fist at the boys who were down by the crick, A5 F5 their feet in the water, their hands on their C5 G5 marbles and playthings and hand half-past four, A5 F5 there came a young lady, she looked like a C5 G5 pretty young creature she sat on the grass, A5 F5 she pulled up her dress, and she showed them her C5 G5 ruffles and laces and fluffy white duck, A5 F5 she said she was learning a new way to C5 G5 bring up her children, so they would not spit A5 F5 while the boys in the barnyard were shoveling C5 G5 refuse, and litter from yesterday's hunt A5 F5 while the girl in the meadow was rubbing her C5 G5 eye at the fellow, down by the dock A5 F5 he looked like a man with a sizable C5 G5 home in the country, with a big fence out front A5 F5 if he asked her politely, she'd show him her C5 G5 little pet dog, who was subject to fits A5 F5 and maybe she'd let him grab hold of her C5 G5 small, tender hands with a movement so quick A5 F5 and then she'd bend over and suck on his C5 G5 candy, so tasty made of butterscotch A5 F5 and then he'd spread whip cream all over her C5 G5 cookies that she had left out on her shelf A5 if you think this is dirty F5 you can go ____ yourself!
